The conditional $( p \wedge q ) \Rightarrow p$ is 

  1. neither tautology nor contradiction

  2. a tautology

  3. a contradiction

  4. both tautology and contradiction

B Correct answer
Explanation

Constructing a truth table for (p AND q) => p: if (p AND q) is true, then p must be true. If (p AND q) is false, the implication is vacuously true. Thus, it is a tautology.
